Questions Frequently Asked by Online Peeps & Tweeps:
- Where do I live?
Physically, my pack, The Professor, and I live in Los Angeles, California (I suppose I should mention that my family and I often reside in the State of Chaos and Confusion, too). The Professor teaches at a large university near our home. I spend most of my time herding children and writing down funny stuff. As daughter#3 put it recently, “Mom, dad does the teaching. You tell the jokes.” She was trying to get out of doing some homework at the time, but it still applies.
- What am I most interested in?
I’m most interested in finding a way to complete an uninterrupted thought sometime in the near future.
I’m also always interested in bringing a smile to your day. That’s why this website exists.
- What is my favorite movie?
My favorite movie is any one that I don’t have to leave in the middle of to take someone to the bathroom. If it makes me laugh, and something blows up, even better.
- What is my favorite kind of music?
Loud. And, louder.
- What is my favorite book?
My favorite books are non-sticky. I like to be able to put a book down.
And, dang it, give me a happy ending!
